Director Venky Atluri is enjoying a dream run at the box office. With Sir starring Dhanush, Lucky Baskhar featuring Dulquer Salmaan, and the recently released Vishwanath & Sons with Suriya, the filmmaker has delivered three major successes with non-Telugu stars.

His ability to connect with audiences across languages has become the talk of the industry. Interestingly, Venky began his journey with youthful love stories, but his storytelling has evolved significantly over the years.

With this impressive track record, many Telugu star heroes are reportedly keen to collaborate with him. Industry circles believe Venky has become one of the most sought-after directors in Telugu cinema.

Some fans are even comparing his rise to that of Trivikram Srinivas, thanks to his writing style and emotional storytelling. While such comparisons may be premature, there is no denying that Venky Atluri has established himself as a filmmaker to watch out.
